The Operations Research group in the Department of Mathematics at LSE is 
seeking exceptionally talented and motivated students with a strong 
mathematical background and interest in topics in algorithms and 
optimisation, including: algorithmic game theory; algorithms and theory 
of linear, convex and integer programming; approximation algorithms; 
algorithms beyond the worst-case; combinatorial optimisation; matroid 
theory; multiagent learning; network design and optimisation; and random 
structures and phase transitions. For more specifics, please consult the 
personal pages of the faculty: 
https://www.lse.ac.uk/Mathematics/Research/Operations-Research.
Applicants whose application is complete (including receipt of 
references) by the first deadline (*15 January 2025*) will be considered 
for fully funded PhD studentships. These studentships cover fees and pay 
an annual stipend (which for 2024 entry was £21,237), usually tax free. 
The award of these studentships is competitive, based on academic 
performance.
